Wakefield Cathedral, Gothic Anglican cathedral in Wakefield, United Kingdom
The cathedral features a 247-foot spire rising above the city center, making it the highest structure in Wakefield and Yorkshire's tallest church spire.
The current building stands on the site of an Anglo-Saxon church mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, with major reconstructions occurring in 1329 and 1469.
The cathedral's name changed from All Hallows to All Saints after the Reformation, reflecting the transformation of religious practices in the 16th century.
The Cathedral Centre at 8-10 Westmorland Street opens its doors every day of the year, offering regular services and community gatherings.
Since 2015, peregrine falcons nest in the cathedral tower, successfully raising multiple chicks and drawing nature observers to the site.
